iotop 1.30

Interactive `top'-like input/output activity monitor

iotop identifies which processes and threads are most responsible for I/O activity such as disc reads and writes. It sorts them in a live, interactive table overview similar to that of the well-known top.

This information makes it much easier for an administrator to see which tasks are blocking others and adjust their priority (using ionice) or stop or kill them altogether.

Installation

Install iotop 1.30 as follows:

guix install iotop@1.30

Or install the latest version:

guix install iotop

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
